Akuna Bay is an urban place in Sydney, Australia. Akuna Bay is located north of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Northern Beaches Council.
Akuna Bay sits in the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park[1] and takes its name from the bay on Coal and Candle Creek. It can be accessed by a marina on the bay or by Liberator General San Martin Drive.
Akuna was thought to be an Aboriginal word meaning to follow. It actually is a mangled version of the Dieri word ngaka-rna meaning "to flow" from South Australia.[2]
In 1972 the construction of a marina was proposed and it was completed in 1974.[3]
